Daily Prayer 70

A YEAR IN PRAYER "Using God's Word to pray"

Are you the same person you have always been, or has there been a renewal in the spirit of your mind?

Are you rejecting old ways, thoughts, beliefs and deeds that are not in line with God’s word, not part of His nature, and not a product of His righteousness?

Have you experienced the new birth which made you a new creation according to God, obedient to God, and set apart for God?

DAY # 70

TODAY’S REQUEST:

TO BE RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF OUR MIND, AND TO PUT ON THE NEW MAN WHICH WAS CREATED ACCORDING TO GOD, IN TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS

John 3:3-7Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." 4Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?" 5Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7"Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’

Colossians 3:9-11Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 10and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, 11where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.

HOW DO THE SCRIPTURES TELL US TO EXPRESS THIS REQUEST?

BEING CONSTANTLY RENEWED IN CHRIST

Ephesians 4: 20-24But you have not so learned Christ, 21if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

2 Corinthians 4:16Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

1 Corinthians 6: 19Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?20For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God‘s.
